ABSTRACT:
A USB-to-USB connecting device is provided for interconnecting two independent universal serial buses (USBs) and for synchronizing local device clocks to the data streams of both USBs. To interconnect the USBs, the device may include a separate local clock synchronization mechanism for each USB connected to the device. Each separate local clock synchronization may utilize the same reference clock. A method for interconnecting two USBs is also provided.
